Would you like to learn a language from a friendly Artificial Intelligence?

Rendering text into talk is easy . Hour One’s trick is to pair that text reading capability with a friendly human face.

You can see in the accompanying video that the “characters” are convincingly real, as is the speech rendering. While promotion for the partnership highlights the AI element, that element is only involved in creating the video imaging. The text that is rendered is written by the humans at Berlitz, so that students will not have to deal with AI-generated at content or lessons, a trick AI has not really mastered yet. The videos and the “characters” themselves live on the cloud, allowing simple access.

It’s a new sort of team. The AI-generated images are based on live humans, and they deliver lessons written by human experts. But it’s the software that manages the actual delivery of the lesson. It remains to be seen if this sort of human/AI hybrid is an adequate replacement for human instruction. It’s a little disconcerting to see human teachers replaced by AI-generated characters, but the lessons themselves are still human-created, and when it comes to cranking out hundreds of language videos, we may be talking about a job that no humans actually want.
